Since this year's study program centers on Dilexi Te, Pope Leo's exhortation on Care for the Poor, our annual Oblate Day will explore this important theme. We are pleased to welcome Dr. Dwight Ford, President and CEO of Project NOW in Rock Island, as our guest speaker. Drawing on his experience serving individuals and families throughout the Quad Cities, Dr. Ford will illustrate how the call to care for the poor can be lived faithfully in our local communities.
